livendive 8 #51 April 27, 2004 I'm a far cry from being a Kerry fan, but am firmly convinced he'll be better than Bush. Of course so would any of the other guys who ran for the Democratic nomination, except perhaps Sharpton. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

If I had been forced to vote for a Democrat, I would have voted for him. At least he was honest about what he thought. What issues did you disagree with him on?

At least he was honest about what he thought. What issues did you disagree with him on? Well of course you were a Sharpton supporter. If he'd won the nomination, Bush would have won the election in a landslide! I can't speak to every issue, beacuse most of the times I've heard him speak I'm left not knowing what the hell he said. I think the ability to speak English in an intelligible manner should be one of the pre-requisites for the Presidency (which would filter out Sharpton, Don King, and George W. Bush among others). I disagree with Sharpton's opinions on freedom of expression (e.g. burning the American flag should be a protected form of expression but flying a confederate flag should be illegal). I don't want a reverend (or priest, pastor, or cleric) running the country and I think Sharpton's opinions on race relations distract him from topics that are more important to me. Still, in a head-to-head race with GWB, I could probably be swung either direction. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

Grab you by the feet and swing you around. Whichever one I hit first would get my vote Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoShitThereIWas 0 #55 April 28, 2004 Just for the record, I do not consider myself to be a Democrat or a Republican. I supported Clinton more than I support Bush definitely but also toward Kennedy, I was stating that I agree with you and BillVon about Libertarianism and the war. Anyway, just wanted to shoot off a quick response since I have to run now! I have enjoyed reading the responses of everyone. We can always agree to disagree on things and we all have our opinions. The more views I read, the more I learn about what other people think and why and I always find that to be a valuable and good thing. Blue skiesRoy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires."
